republicans came to the senses, okay, not touching the debt ceiling, let it float. in return, you see the democrats in the senate drawing up a budget. i think obama's -- his olive branch is, okay, i'll take this one extension to bring stability to the situation, but it's not happening again because we have to get the job doab. it's progress. it's better than the last few months. lou: some combative about it and characterize the president as being so contentious. it's the first intelligent step taken by the republicans and gives, you know, i i think hope to the nation, the first intelligent step taken by the president. they actually are moving towards one another. it looked to me like something we ought to be kind of saying hallelujah about other than analyzing, if i may, in such, well, i don't know, unsettling parts of the terms. >> it's progress. >> the heavy weight boxes match, they touch the gloves at the start of the fight. please, don't misinterpret that's a good sign. it's a show to the nation. lou: see, i'm surrounded by cynicism. everywhere i turn around her

what this bill does is it suspects the debt ceiling until may. that means treasury can borrow without limit to pay for america's obligations. this is something that gives congress breathing room to deal with some of their other big fiscal challenges that we all know about. it lifts this immediate threat of a default, which is so dangerous not just for the american economy but for the world markets. it does so with a requirement, a price requiring the senate to pass a budget. actually, both houses, each house would have to pass a budget or members of congress won't be paid. their pay will be put in an escrow account are they won't be paid. that's a little bit. schtick they're trying to use. this takes away the threat of a big default. >> house republicans have it seems backed off their demand that any increase in the debt ceiling be matched by spending cuts. is this seen as a political retreat or are they hoping to gain something in return? >> reporter: well, both sides are kind of gloating here and claiming victory. we had a press conference from
